The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 335

"Is this your bad idea?" Daniel questioned with a smirk.

"What are you talking about? How is making use of my skills a bad idea?" Jessica replied, slightly defensive.

"So, you're asking me to put on a show? That's what it is, right?" Daniel elbowed back.

"Are you unwilling to treat my grandfather or are you just lacking the skill?" Jessica challenged.

"Who says I'm not skilled? What will you do if I actually cure him?"

"What do you want me to do?" she challenged back.

"Make love to me!" Daniel blurted out brazenly.

"Sex? Impossible. Not until after the one-year trial period," Jessica retorted firmly.

"You’re cruel! How can you expect me to remain single with such a beautiful wife? Besides, shouldn't sex be a part of the trial? If you don't test that and it turns out I'm not good enough, wouldn't that be tragic after a year?"

"If you're not good enough, then I'll kick you to the curb!"

The next day, after an entire night discussing with Jessica, Daniel had learned about her grandfather, Kind Matthews's health issues. The chronic illnesses plaguing Kind were not things that could be cured with acupuncture alone; he needed certain herbs.

Thus, Daniel decided to visit an herbal medicine market to buy the needed ingredients, intending to make some medicinal pills for Kind to eat. Combined with acupuncture, these could potentially bring about a full recovery.

As soon as Daniel stepped out the door, a two-tone Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of him. An elderly man stepped out of the car and bowed to him, saying, "Young Master, good day."

"You say I'm the young master of The Perkins family in New York, but who are my parents? Where are they? How come they've never visited me?"

"The affairs of your parents cannot be divulged to you just yet. You must strive to become the head of The Perkins and take control of the family before that secret can be revealed. Sharing it with you now could end your life!"

With those last words, Logan walked away, and Daniel stood there, business card in hand, dumbfounded. Could it be true that he was the young master of the distinguished Perkins family of New York?

Daniel quickly pulled out his phone and began to search online. There was absolutely no information about Logan to be found, and anything about The Perkins was just as obscure. Had he encountered a con artist?

But then, what could they possibly want to scam from him?

As Daniel pondered, a woman's sharp voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Country boy, what are you up to?"
